Has anybody else noticed attack animation have become borked since the update?
Why was this not found and delt with during beta testing?
Yes. In just the last chapter, the developers showcased with pride the fluid combat movement, allowing us to move seamlessly while swinging our weapon.
I can’t post links, but anyone can go to Funcom’s YT and watch the AoW chapter 2 trailer. At 55 seconds they show the very intentional fluid combat.
Then they just… took it away???
It’s part of the… changes… so it’s not a bug, but a FEATURE
Yes, the combat in chapter 2 was so good an satisfying.
Now with chapter 3 it’s even worse than before Age of War. Especially the turning your character withing your combo. If you don’t press “W” while attacking the character just swings forward in one line, and changing the direction mid attack is not possible at all. This is totally the wrong direction to go with combat. The current system is not more fluent but more stiff then even before.
Please Funcom, return to the combat mechanics of AoW Chapter 2.
Have they answered this issue? If this is the way it will continue let us know so we can find another game.
Everyone hates it and are commenting on it on the forums. Don’t think they have answered on it yet, but they simply must change it back FAST. It completely ruins combat.
Currently, the only passible solution is to disable controller style movement and rotatable stationary camera.
Yes, they did. Although many people try to justify this horrible change by saying that i makes combat more challenging or whatever, no one can deny that it completely goes against what the devs have been talking about combat for months. Also, it apparently was an unannounced change. I wonder why? Anyway, it needs to be fixed, as in removed and the old combat system restored.
The official word is that combat is now working as it was always intended, although Andy gave some wiggle room and said they were listening to feedback.
Hehe. They are trying to make excuses yes. Thank god i play on private server with mods. Someone from the lovely modding community has made a mod that reverts these stupid changes and wow, the difference is immense. Had it not been possible to play without these detrimental, unwanted changes to combat me and my friends would have stopped playing this game.
It is not a solution.
It doesn’t mean I’m happy with it.
